Tombul Report 1 Apr 2018 04:52

Looking for decendents.of my mum's Aunts, sisters to her father William Tully from Edinburgh.

Ann, born 1907, was one of the oldest Tully Children, born to Henry Tully And Sarah Ann Heads.

In 1931 she married Thomas Bain and they had 3 children; Iris (1934) , Ann (1937) & Thomas (1943). My mum has fond memories of these cousins. Iris married John Narrie and had 3 children; John, Diane & Maureen.
Ann married Frederick Anderson and had 3 children; Stewart, Moira and Fiona
Thomas married Gladys Ward and they had 2 children; Gladys and Thomas.

The youngest sister and youngest Tully was Margaret born 1920. In 1940 she married Charles Burns and they had 4 children, Charles, Derek, Susan and William. Maggie also had a later son once widowed, whom she called Gerald. Again mum remember the whole family fondly.
Charles (1941) married Elizabeth Hunnam and they had ? children;
Derek (1945) married Mary Curran, they had 5 children
Susan (1946) married ?
William (1947( married Irene Muir, they had two children
Gerald (1959) married Maureen Lornie.

Of the 7 Tully children, these are the last two that I have not got any news for my mum about. My mum Sarah (Sally) is 81 this year and I've managed to exchange photos and information with all the other branches in Canada, England, Italy. My mum lost many old photo years ago and she would love to get photos if possible of her Auntie Ann and her Auntie Maggie.

Can anyone point them in my direction please <3 <3

If they all lived in Scotland then you need Scotlands People website for bmds

It isn't a subs site . You can do free search but have to purchase units to access the record . For those later records you can buy the cert through them
They used to be £10 each but don't know if that is still the current price

Have you looked on Scotlandspeople to see if any of the children have middle names/initials? You should be able to do that using only the free search.

Assuming the Aunts have died, have you purchased their DC? The informant could be a relative with a more recent address.

Have you looked on 192.com for electoral roll entries?
How about searching online trees on this site?

Googling sadly brings up the obituaries for the Bain siblings. The obituaries all give a little more information about their families.

(Thomas and Gladys also had another daughter (Anne-Marie)- reading the obituary you will see the first name of her husband. Her marriage is on Scotland's People. Anne-marie is on Facebook, as is her sister Gladys- If you need help to find it let me know)
